“A JRPG with a mix of turn-based and timing-based battle mechanics with a heavy focus on characters and story.”

“Ikenfell is a game about witches, wizards, the school they attend, & the trouble they get into. It is also a game about love, friendships, rivalries, mischief…& kissing. The kissing may or may not happen between any of the former.”

[gfycat data_id="CoordinatedCanineGuineapig"][gfycat data_id="AptNaughtyAsianlion"][gfycat data_id="AffectionateAllFlicker"]

“A mystery and exploration RPG coming to PC and Mac. The game features traditional turn based combat, with a little bit of spice, but will primarily focus on the story and how you change it. This will be done through the ESSENCE SYSTEM, which will track a player’s personality and morality. After a glitch appears in the world of SOREN, our unexpected hero, Gus, will become aware of you- the player. Experience fourth wall breaking shenanigans while making decisions that will shape this world.”

[gfycat data_id="ScholarlyAchingHowlermonkey"][gfycat data_id="UnitedSophisticatedAnhinga"][gfycat data_id="LegitimateEvergreenAntarcticfurseal"]

“A Medieval Space-folktale with action-RPG and roguelike influences. You explore an abstract, storybook-like universe as a young space-knight in your trusty ship that functions as your armour, your figurative warhorse and your mobile home as well. You need to manage your resources, upgrade your ship, be skillful in combat and make the right choices during encounters.”

Fabular is currently in its last week on Kickstarter and is edging pretty close to its goal.  Hopefully it’ll cross the finish line soon. :)

“A colorful 3D Japanese Style RPG set in the 1990s, about eight strangers, a mysterious woman who vanishes in an elevator, and weaponized Panda plushies.”

This is a story about what happens when you look for someone who can’t be found… and the strange things you invite into your life when you go to forbidden places.”

“A party-based RPG in which you lead a band of exiles to freedom through an ancient competition spread across a vast, mystical purgatory. Follow the stars as they guide you toward a series of celestial landmarks, then guide your fellow exiles to glory through action-packed, tactical confrontations against adversaries whose own freedom is at stake.”

This was announced a little bit before PAX, from the developers of Bastion and Transistor.  Of course, another beautiful art style.  The game itself seems like quite a departure from the previous ones, but I don’t mind.  :)

“A real-time tactical Japanese-style RPG. Inspired by timeless classics such as Ogre Battle, Final Fantasy VI, and Final Fantasy Tactics, Chronicle of Ruin’s ultimate goal is to both pay homage to these all-time greats and push their formulas forward in new and interesting ways.”

“In Chronicle of Ruin, vigilance is the distant memory of a world unknowingly on the brink of the end. Centuries of chaos and strife have hastened it to this decisive moment, wherein one final push against its cracked foundation will send it all plummeting into the abyss.”

The art makes me weak in my knees.  A new trailer came out today and the release date was announced as March 31st for PC, with a console date to follow.  I did back this on Kickstarter, it’s been a long wait!  Looks worth it.

“Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16­bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.

“Drifters of this world are the collectors of forgotten knowledge, lost technologies and broken histories. Our Drifter is haunted by an insatiable illness, traveling further into the lands of Buried Time, hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease.”
